As someone who's been resisting, fighting and pushing through stress my whole life, I can save you a lot of time by telling you a secret...
Relieving stress is not about:
what you do
how you sleep
what foods you eat
how much you exercise
how much water you drink
if there's mold in your house
what you wear or put on your body
what supplements and medicines you take
It's about connecting with you.
It's about managing yourself. Connecting with and to yourself.
It can include any or all of these things.
But the source is YOU.
Your thoughts. Your beliefs. Your habits. Your behaviors. Your perceptions.

"This event completely changed the way I see stress relief and building habits. Instead of trying to fight stress, I learned how to move through it- using movement-based practices that rewire how my body handles stress long-term. "

Frequently asked questions
Why can't I just book 1 yoga session with you?
This is a great question! Everyone who is starting out with me has to start with an Introductory session. This will give you a chance to see how it works and hear more about the options moving forward. From there you will select the membership and/or package that works best for you.
I have chosen to focus on working with people who are interested in making a long term commitment to yoga. There are monthly membership options and 5 & 10 class packages available. If you are interested in making a long term commitment to your yoga practice but need a payment plan to afford it, please contact me.
What is the cancellation policy?
Only registrations made with a membership or package can be canceled by client. You cannot cancel less than 48 hours in advance. If you need to do so, you will forfeit your credit.
Can I buy a session for someone else?
Your sessions are not transferrable to anyone else, but you can buy a gift card for someone else to redeem for any offering!
Can I do a group or couples yoga session?
Yes! Contact me to arrange it.
Do session packages expire?
Yes, they do. 5 class packages expire within 60 days and 10 class packages expire within 120 days.
Do you work with children?
I do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to book a session on my website. I will work with youth age 13 and older for yoga or stress management sessions, with parental/guardian permission only. I do not work with youth under the age of 13. If anyone under the age of 18 would like to work with me, their parent/guardian must contact me first to inquire about arranging sessions for their child/children.
